Directions

Step 1

Make the Lavender Syrup
In a saucepan, combine:

1 tbsp dried culinary lavender

Bring to a simmer, stir until sugar dissolves, then remove from heat. Let steep for 10–15 minutes. Strain and cool.

Step 2

Squeeze the Lemons:
Juice about 4–6 lemons to get:

1 cup fresh lemon juice
Strain to remove seeds and pulp.

Step 3

Mix the Lemonade

1 cup lavender syrup
1 cup lemon juice
3 cups cold water
Stir well and chill.

Step 4

Serve & Garnish: Pour into glasses over ice. Garnish with lemon slices and a sprig of lavender or mint.
